Actually I left reddit long before migration.... Came to know about Lemmy only after the API controversy...
I nuked all the content of my Reddit account, then forced it to be banned from Reddit. After that, blacklisted the domain from my computer so that it just returns a (ERR_NX_DOMAIN) and migrated to KBin instead
Been happy since
I slowed down when the announcement was made about third party apps. I quit entirely when RIF turned off. Now I participate here, started my own community, contribute to others as much as I can, and finally figured out how to host my own instance. It's been fun seeing it grow slowly.
I have pretty much stopped.
Itβs not usable on my phone and now searches are basically buggered with a number of subreddits being nsfw. So for example I was searching something specific to pop_os and canβt view the thread. Just closed it. Will block Reddit returns in Kagi now most likely.
I think there may have been a day or two where I looked at it for a few minutes in the browser at work over the past couple of weeks.
I have not gone to Reddit just to "use reddit" since discovering lemm.ee a couple weeks ago. Sometimes still end up on specific threads through search results, especially for obscure stuff on older video games.
I log in for one niche sub that has no activity in the Lemmy equivalent, and only once every few days.
Yes, but when I go to my multireddits, it's a barren desert of absolute n00bs asking questions that can be googled in five seconds. Makes me really miss what it used to be. I hope Lemmy gets more engagement.
lemmy has completely replaced reddit for me ngl, it's pretty much the same experience, for me at least, and I actually like it here more, people are more engaging and I got 100+ upvotes on a post for the FIRST TIME!
honestly I don't see myself going back, I will miss finding a niche sub and having enough content there for me to scroll for hours but hey, we'll get there too eventually!
No, I do not. Except when I'm looking for something and reddit is the only place where I can find my answers. But that rarely happens.
About 85% of my reddit browsing had been on pretty niche subs, so I'm still using reddit to engage in those communities (of those that haven't shut down). I'm trying to contribute to the equivalents here too, but the engagement is still on reddit for now.
The other 15% was just the occasional trip to /r/all to see if there was anything interesting going on there, to which the answer was usually... no. That's pretty much been replaced by here now.
Totally off reddit. I have seamlessly replaced one with the other.
only for r/piracy megathread
Scrammed and deleted all comments and got accounts banned [for saying fuck u/spez].
I only lurk a few places that don't exist here in a meaningful way. Discovery is harder here and desktop socks without RES.
Yes, only for fap purposes.
Yes. But instead of spending ever free minute on it I'll only check it once or maybe twice a day.
Most communities I cared about feel less lively. Except for maybe two or three.
Yeah, unfortunately. I'm trying to switch over fully but there's still some subreddits that I can't replicate on Lemmy. I'll be off once I get alternatives to all the snake, big cat, and bird subs that I use to look at cool animals, though. iNaturalist just isn't as browsable.
Literally have not been back since I decided to leave before the blackout.
Considering incised to spen hours a day s rolling that place, I haven't missed it and just moved on. 12years or more I was a regular contributor and viewer and quit cold turkey style :)
I donβt but if I have a question Iβll google and add site:reddit.com for sureβ¦
I still use Reddit, I didn't move here because I was pissed at apps going away (never used them anyway), just wanted to familiarize myself before I'll be forced to move when they inevitably remove old reddit in the future.
There's still communities important to me that either only exist on Reddit or have way too little engagement here. Until they remove old reddit or that changes, I'll stay on reddit. But I'm doing my part by having disabled ads on reddit (I had them enabled before the third party app stuff).
theres a couple communities stuck on there I still check on, but no longer casually browse.
Only rss of gamedeals and buildapcsales. Those are functionally useful subs. Good deal alerts.
Have no interest in anything else like random discussions in hobbies or games or television or shows or sports which are stuff that are easy to quit. Even /r/Heat family I have left behind despite basically no activity here. Those are more entertainment and don't offer utility. That includes niche subs I enjoyed like gunpla or dedicated tv show or game subs. It just falls into category of entertainment that isn't so useful I need it.
I knew it essentially coming to a close when I didn't have Reddit Enhancement Suite installed anymore.
I used to spend hours everyday there. Now I only visit for a few minutes a week to check up on a game.
But I'll never touch the official app and I'll never come back, even if they backtracked the API decision, because f u/spez
Iβve done some Google searches and looked at Reddit results, and I view some choice subreddits on an RSS feed. But I have not logged in to Reddit since Apollo went down. Lemmy still seems to be getting better every day. While the content drought is still there I have taken to reading a book at night before bed instead. Iβm hoping that just becomes a long lasting habit in lieu of scrolling.
I still do, but not in the same capacity.
With the death of BaconReader I don't scroll as much, and just from looking at my front page, I imagine it's not only the summer doldrums that have thinned it out so much. It's just... harder to find good discussion there, and what I do find is often charged in some way, or very thin. So, I stick around for some of the communities that I'm more active in, but I'm also doing things on Lemmy, and a few other places. Honestly, idk that I'll ever full drop Reddit in the same way that I did, say, MySpace, mostly in that there's probably going to be some value somewhere on the site. But, it's certainly not my main source of idle scrolling or engagement anymore.
Also, yes, I know I can still make BR work, but at this point I'll just keep using Reddit in browser with uBlock Origin.
The official app has bad performance and that's why I only browse on my pc. Usually that's once a week.
Cold turkey. I trad an interesting crosspost back-and-forth about the new gold deprecation thing, but other than that, no. οΏΌ
Only here and there for one specific sub
Only the NSFW content, I got everything else here.
I still use it for a couple of hobby related things although I could probably use discord for some of it.
Whilst I am using lemmy it's not quite hitting the spot so I use it less. I'm getting an awful lot more reading done.
I do, from desktop, mainly as force of habit.
my chosen mobile app, Relay, actually still works, but I am trying to train myself to use Lemmy more.
I just wish the content changed over faster, and there were more comments.
Yup for those little weird subs I'm still on.
I've only touched Reddit when it comes up when I google something. Haven't used it for anything else for the past month or so.
Swapped in Memmy at the Apollo spot on my phoneβs home screen, and not looking back! Itβs been great so far.
Unfortunately there are a couple of very specific subs which have no equivalent on Lemmy and I have gone back for them once or twice. Iβm considering leaving those communities behind. Although it sucks to have to do so, ultimately it feels like the right thing to do.
No
I've gone back and lurked a single sub a fee times that doesn't have an active user base here. Even the sub is slower now, than before the protests and app removals. The mobile site is cancer compared to RIF, which really helps to not go there.
No. Have not logged for weeks and can't think of any good reason to go back.
Lemmy got active enough after the API changes took effect that I have rarely been back.
If I have to Google something, and the answer is on Reddit, then yes.
nope but my account is not deleted. Have not had time to follow up on my data request. mostly because of kbin :)
I visit the Ukraine livethread on worldnews once a day and that is it. I use Lemmy or Mastodon mostly.
I am not logged into my reddit account, and ads are blocked. I use a VPN. I cancelled my reddit premium subscription when the API changes were announced.
I purged my feed from over 150 subs I would spend the first and last few hours each day browsing and commenting from my bed to less than 20 I lurk every few days from my pc, almost all of which are gaming communities with no fediverse replacements.
